Greetings all,

I've finally decided to unleash my Lego creations upon the world!!!  I've
decided to do this using a friend's web space on Easynet or set-up some free
space on FreeUK rather than post pix on Brickshelf.  So I'm looking to
register a domain name for the site and point it to the web space
(web-fowarding / URL masking).  So this my problem is thus:

I need to register a domain name (.com) with a web-fowarding (URL masking)
option.  I don't want any banner ads to appear, nor do I want to register
the domain with any "mickey mouse" company that will rip me off or give me
grief in the future.  In addition I will want to transfer the domain name
sometime in the near future from the company it's parked with to a proper
ISP host (like Easynet).  This is becasue I cannot afford to buy any web
space packages just yet.....been spending far too much on Lego!  ; )

Are there any good, reputable companies in the UK that will do this?

Why not put the images on brickshelf and everything else on a web account? That way you save on space and bandwidth, and more people get to see your work. All you do is point the img tags to the image on brickshelf (it's called deep linking). That (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)

www.gandi.net is great for non .uk domain names. They are a french company and their service is excellent. You can point your name to any IP / address or name server for free and they give you 5 free mail forwarding addresses as well as a 'catch (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)
